Re: Torque Converter

I wonder if Dynamic sells anything but 9 1/2" units. Everyone who mentions they got a convertor there says it was a 9 1/2.

If he sticks with say a 9 1/2" with a 3500 to 3800 stall, I don't think he'd regret it.
I have a 9 1/2" in my 63 and 65 and I love it. I think it is probably their most popular convertor.
I had a 11" Turbo action in the 63 car originally. I'd never go back.
But talk to Sean at Dynamic, and he can advise you which way to go.

The 3.91s will get rid of the noise, but you will notice the same thing when you go from park to drive,,,,a new TC will solve your problem, but if this is mainly a street car, do not get to carried away with the stall or you will be just as unhappy with the final results,,,,,

This may be the missing piece of the puzzle anyhow, the 383 makes good power once the cam comes in, but is a dog off the line (I'm sure the wifes minivan will take it off the lights, at least until I get to 2000rpms..). Once the revs are up it pulls hard, chirps second and goes. There are 3.55 in the back right now but they whine bad so I just picked up a case with 3.91's in it, that'll help but I think I should give a call to Dynamic...

Thanks for all the input!

Dynamic will make just about any convertor that you want.
And yes, they can make it for the the early splined input shaft.
But you will pay more for that option.

Let's try again....

My 64 Windsor (Newport) Convertible originally came with a 361. At sometime in it's life the 361 was replaced with a 1966 383 2bbl engine. Then a weiand 4bbl intake, Holley 750, and headers were added, as well as a cam.

I don't know the specification of the cam, but it is fairly lumpy, in that it has that nice lumpy cam tone out the exhaust when in gear. I have to set the idle at around 1000rpm's, so that in gear it doesn't stall out.

Question is this, when I put it in gear from park, it engages hard and pulls the rpm's down to around 700. Would this hard engagement and large drop in rpms be possible due to some sort of tranny modification (shift kit, line pressure or spring change) or is it more a function of the torque converter?

Once again, any insight would be appreciated!
